Hong Kong - January and February 2020

January was a crazy month re travel. Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei !

Callum came back with me from Singapore and spent a few days with me and Alex, who is doing an internship in Hong Kong at Calibrate by Stephanie.

So nice to be in HK and getting back to relative normality.

Weekends are all about hiking, gym and food ! I enjoy my weekend breakfasts at home.


Panic buying has kicked in due to the Corona Virus. Rice, water and toilet paper...


Ice cream with Alex and Callum at Barista by Givres !


Street scene in Kennedy Town...


Took Alex to my favourite Shanghainese place in Kennedy Town...


We walked back to Central via Instagram Pier...


The virus is having an effect on work and life. We are letting people work from home as are most businesses. Schools are closed and government employees are working from home. Hongkongers are crazy stressed. Expats are pretty cool about it. So much mis-information online...


First wear of my Shanghai-made linen jacket...


Tai Kwun dessed up for Lantern Festival...


Went to Dragonfly Bar in Tai Kwun one night...


My Ikea candle collapsed and made some nice artwork...


One night went to the bar on the Discovery Bay Ferry Terminal. Cool views...


Went to a Thai place in Wan Chai that I had heard about called Samsen. Modern Thai and it was tasty...


And after went to the bar at The Upper House. Pretty swish...



One Sunday I went to Pure gym in ICBC and then to Hong Kong Park which I hadn't been to since I arrived.


Found a new lunch place in Sheung Wan...


Spending a lot of time at gym. Here I am doing core...


My new Esprit shirts...


Melbourne - June 2024

 Had to go to Melbourne for work. Flew on the Monday morning and straight to the office. After work I checked in to Voco and crossed Lonsdal...
